Oru Oorla Rendu Raja - Neither Here Nor There
Kannan has taken up an important issue. For a few minutes you even get reminded of Kaththi with the theme having a little similarity to it. Another notable aspect of the film is that Priya Anand is actually the protagonist and the film actually travels with her.(more)

Oru Oorla Rendu Raja Review - Not so royal
Kannan had penned some wonderful dialogues to highlight the corporate greediness, but, that has been overshadowed by the below par screenplay. Priya Anand must work on her expressions and so does Vemal too.(more)

A mess of a message
Well, a good start would be to make films with purposeful dialogues, lesser cliches, and not belittle real problems with pointless comedy and unreal solutions.(more)

Fails to impress
Oru Oorla Rendu Raja is a movie that aims to highlight the plight of factory labourers involved in fighting for a social cause. Directed by R. Kannan, the film fails to impress because of a lacklustre script and screenplay. The movie traces the journey of two blokes, Azagu (Vemal) and Mike (Soori) travelling from Tuticorin to Chennai. On this train they meet a medical student, Priya (Priya Anand.)(more)

Like the recent Kaththi, Oru Oorula Rendu Raja is also about an individual's fight against a merciless capitalist. But the similarity ends there. This one is not a star vehicle like the former, and also uses the plot to inject some tension into the narrative, which otherwise is content to coast on the antics of its leading men. (more)

A profound subject polluted by buffoonery
It is so unfortunate that a profound subject like industrial pollution is trivialised in Kanan�s Oru Oorla Rendu Raja (Two Kings in a Land) through a train of distracting songs and dances as well as mindless buffoonery that is passed off as comedy. When a young and pretty doctor, Priya (Priya Anand), sees her school friend, played by Vishaka Singh, bleed to death in a factory run by a profit-driven entrepreneur (Nasser), the utter callousness of it all seems apparent.
